A New Mode of Enterprise Social Work Service – Industrial Park Service
Enterprise social work service has a variety of different models which is on the site and has a lot of limitations and problems. Based on the analyses of different service modes of enterprise social work, this paper adopts case method to analyze in-depth one of those modes of industrial park under the guidance of social workers.We believe that because compared with site service, the enterprise social work service in the industrial park is not in the enterprise, has no direct conflict of interests with the enterprise and are not supervised or constrained by the enterprise, the social workers of industrial park have more autonomy, more teamwork spirit, cover more people, have larger space, can provide more efficient service and get more social recognition and support. Therefore, it is a more feasible and effective choice for China to purchase the service mode of enterprise social work in industrial parks by a third party (government).
Chemical and microbiological properties of kavut flour produced in some regions of Turkey
Kavut is a traditional cereal product prepared with kavut flour, which is obtained from grinding wheat or barley, and sugar, milk and butter. In this study, 35 unpacked kavut flour samples that were produced in house conditions and family businesses in Kars province and sold in delicatessen and shopping arcades were analyzed chemically to determine their ash, moisture, acidity (%), protein ratio and microbiologically to determine their Total Aerobic Mesophilic Bacteria (TAMB), coliform, mould and rope spores counts. Ash, moisture, protein and acidity ratios (%) of flour samples were found to be within the limits specified in the Turkish Food Codex Communiqué on wheat flour. According to the results of the microbiological analysis, the count of TAMB, mould and coliform bacteria were determined to be below the maximum acceptable limit defined in the Turkish Food Codex Communiqué on Microbiological Criteria. In general, it was observed that kavut flour is eligible for kavut production given its microbiological and chemical properties.
Rubrics 101: What, When and How
Alternative assessment is any type of assessment other than standardized tests/ achievement tests. Alternative assessments include observations, interviews, record reviews, and performance reviews that are less structured than formal assessments and may not be validated or tested for reliability. Examples of alternative assessments include portfolios, interest inventories, work samples, journals, observations, checklists, teacher made tests, and anecdotal records. This article pertains to the scoring of these types of alternative assessment using rubrics. As the title of this article implies, creating rubrics, rules for writing, scoring systems (checklists, rating scales, and holistic) will be provided along with a comparison of the three and errors that can be found that will decrease the validity of findings.
Patient Compliance: Fact or Fiction?
The word ‘compliance’ comes from the Latin word complire, meaning to fill up and hence to complete an action, transaction, or process and to fulfil a promise. In the Oxford English Dictionary, the relevant definition is ‘The acting in accordance with, or the yielding to a desire, request, condition, direction, etc.; a consenting to act in conformity with; an acceding to; practical assent”. Compliance with therapy is simply patients understanding of medication, motivation toward having this medication is a prescribed manner with the belief that the prescriber and prescribed medicine will be beneficial for his well-being. Although this is often the case, in a number of situations, the physician and pharmacist have not provided the patient with adequate instructions or have not presented the instructions in such a manner that the patient understands them. Nothing should be taken for granted regarding the patient’s understanding of how to use medication, and appropriate steps must be taken to provide patients with the information and counseling necessary to use their medications as effectively and as safely as possible. 20% to 30% of new prescriptions are never filled at the pharmacy. Medication is not taken as prescribed 50% of the time. For patients prescribed medications for chronic diseases, after six months, the majority take less medication than prescribed or stop the medication altogether. There are both federal and state laws that make using or sharing prescription drugs illegal. If someone take a pill that was prescribed to someone else or give that pill to another person, not only is it against the law, it’s extremely dangerous.
